Midcentury post and beam in El Sereno seeks $499K

Located just off Huntington Boulevard in El Sereno, this house has a lovely midcentury look on the outside and updated interiors.

The two-bedroom dwelling, which public records date to 1951, has walls of large windows and a brick fireplace painted white in the living room, along with wood floors through most of the house. Beamed ceilings, also painted white, make the space appear more roomy.

The master bedroom “is complimented by a large bonus room perfect for a playroom, music room, yoga studio or whatever the heck you want. All three rooms enjoy the same high ceilings.

The house’s lone bathroom is a tiled-enclosure with a a vintage, mosaic-tile look to it.

Behind the house, the yard is largely flat and offers up view of the surrounding hilltops. Landscaped with what looks to be drought-tolerant plantings and concrete pavers, it’s a fairly spacious spot for a party.

The house, which sits on a lot over a quarter of an acre in size, is listed for $499,000.
